It is soooo good. It's real turkish food, tasty and full of flavour and it's the best turkish restaurant. Also the prices are very reasonable.
It was the worst lahmacun I've ever eaten. I couldn't eat it. To be more precise, I paid 26_$ for a lahmacun and ayran.
Place and service was friendly. The food was good but not spicy for me. Price is reasonable I think. If they can make bit spicy that would be great.
Hello Very inexpensive for what you get . 2 Filet Mignon brochette for 27.99 is ridiculously low priced . Service was good,Place is clean Ample parking on a Monday at 18.00. Cheers Mike
Great authentic Turkish cuisine with quick service. Nice place to bring family. The meat are very succulent! Good portions. Great prices!
In level of food, particularly in Turkish cuisine, it is unbeatable. Big portion with high quality of kebabs steals every body's heart. I have visited several times in turkey and I am fan of Turkish food. This restaurant is easily comparable with restaurant in Turkey and even better than most of them. Just I wanna mention: don't expect a luxury restaurant, just go there for their high quality plates.
We ordered chicken and beef mix gyro platter, beef gyro platter and Cheese pide. I can say that there is a lot of room for improvement. The gyro was too oily and that didn't leave a good imapct on our taste buds. The surrounding wasn't tidy as well but the staff was helpful and friendly.
I went with my wife to try turkish food and we both really liked it. The service was pretty fast in accommodating a place for us considering the place was packed when we went. As for the food, we both really liked it and both left the restaurant extremely full. I recommend people to go and try it out. We paid 29$ with tip and tax included for two plates so i cant say it was expensive either. Will definitely go back ...
the best place to waste your money with extremely competent people lol
This is a great box, I ate several times before writing this, delicious and fresh Kid-friendliness: My 8 year old daughter ate this with pleasure.
I give a huge zero for the evening service, no courtesy, dishes taken away without cutlery, napkins or sauce and no incomparable politeness to the excellent daytime service.
The quantity is generous but you quickly understand why especially with an affordable price, half of the meat is animal fat, lots of spices and salt to disguise the taste, the fat is so strong that it is difficult to swallow. Total disappointment.
I ordered on Uber Eats, the dish was cold, the shawarma tasted bad, and the fries were all burnt
Super good I love it
After eating your meal (chicken doner plate), I got sick for three days. Be careful with your food, dont give customers anything. Next time I will file a complaint against you.
The meals are very well served and the food is very good, especially the bulgur, which I really like and a change from the rice everywhere. The salad is included and served in a container separate from the main meal. The service is very friendly and respectful.
The girl serving around 3:00 p.m. was really stupid and rude, no courtesy. Hey girl, if you dont like customer service, stay home. I am outraged by his lack of education and courtesy.
Good food and good service.prices are reasonable.
Best service Saturday evening very fast with yasmina and lynda thank you girls
Very appreciated, especially by the staff on Saturday evening, they were awesome
One less customer, horrible service and I received my order without any sauce!!!! And the bread is so hard, and I asked for something to change, the waitress told me that your plate is ready, we cant do anything for you, he refuses to make any changes so I just asked to change something. remove something its not even a radical change, they made their choice and I received my order as not volu I pay but I wouldnt have what I want its the best !!!!!!! Last time I order hereiiiiii
I ordered an askender plate, there was nothing apart from the beef and yorut with a chili tomato and its not edible really. I paid $47 on Uber for nothing.
The food is very delicious I love it a lot
This restaurant has changed a lot from how it was before. Maybe the administration has changed??! The girl at the checkout has a negative attitude, she answers you with a very dry, even mean, tone. Quality of chicken very poor and super salty.
I dont know if the management has changed but it has become a disaster the meat is not good the salad is even worse and the service leaves something to be desired like the staff insults and makes fun of every customer who leaves they dont want to work. It s a shame I ate here almost every weekend
Good food !
very good
you are the best quality/price never been disappointed compared to other Turkish restaurants in the area
Really disappointing food Very tough chicken and inedible borghoul, no taste The waitress is not polite at all customer service really it will be my last time to eat there Lacks a lot of hygiene compared by the former owner AZ Turkish Not recommended very disappointed
Its nice Good service Good cooking
Excellent service! I made a mistake in what I wanted to order and the waitress changed my dish without hesitation. They are jovial and attentive. The food is good and the place is pretty quiet.
Simply delicious! I have been eating there for years and have never been disappointed with the service or the quality of the food. Plus, I never get tired of this place. 5 well-deserved stars
Wheelchair accessibility: Accès facile Food
Parking: Merci Food
Parking: In front of the store Kid-friendliness: Very quiet place and suitable for children especially as the food is delicious
Expensive and no good
So good you need to try it
My kids said its the best pizza they have eat.
They hang up the phone when I call to order
Bad service the waiters were super bitter & the food let me not even speak
Very delicious food
The service was really good Turkish food is really delicious I love it mmmmm no atmosphere (the place is very quiet)...
Good food and a beautiful vibe :)) THEY HAVE FREE RED TEA!!!!!
Very delicious food
Great
Worst service ever
They take no responsibility if there is a mistake on the order. Did not get what I paid for (missing one whole plate) and told me not our problem when I called. Be careful.
Bad experience
Decent Turkish Restaurant with complete Turkish meals.
Theyre thieves...you order a dish and its half what you see in the photo. Theyre thieves and theyre the worst restaurant in Montreal
Excellent discovery. Never disappointed. Its good and the service is correct. I love the food here.
Not bad, but now I understand why they have a very low rating Will not go back there!
Food and service were great. The kids and adults both loved everything
Very pretty and smiles people
The prices are too exaggerated and do not correspond to the quantity. Bad experience.
Dirty place and not good food. I oredeed Iskender Kebap and it was terrible. The bread was not fresh and the meet too salty + canned tomato sauce was used. I went sick and I had stomacach all the day and night. Also, I ordered chicken negates with french fries for my baby but I did not give him to eat them because they were bad too. One star is for 0 stars. What a shame for restaurant to eat Turkish food! Such a huge portion of causing-sickness food. All of that bad experience was combined with waiting to be served with only one nice waitress (1stat went for her)
Good and hearty meal
Its really good
This restaurant used to be the place to get delicious meals at an affordable price, not anymore, the food is still good but the prices skyrocketed way higher than the inflation rate. Too bad but I will look elsewhere for delicious meals.
I used to go here many times. But, I will not come again and not recommend this place anymore. The meat in my dinner is really old bad has bad smell bad taste. I spoke to the lady . Unfortunately, she said I will let them know. That all here response. In good management, they should replace or refund and apologize. That doesn t happened!!! Thank you bad people.
The beef was not well cooked, the fries are disgusting, they give reusable plastic glasses to drink from!!!!!! Are we at daycare!!? The bread was not heated well, and in addition the little girl who was at the cash register is rude, I didnt want to tip because I was dissatisfied with the service, Im already paying even you dont deserve it and she told me said in a rude way, after my friend paid without tip, choose an option and insert your card!!!! Shes implicitly obliging me or something!! The dish is catastrophic, the waitresses argue while serving the dishes, why did she want me to tip! and whats more, she handed me the camera with her back turned to me? What is this service? This is how we treat the customer!!!! Im talking about the one in Saint Leonards. I often go to the one in Laval, it is just magnificent, nothing to say.
Very disappointed, $100 order inedible, chicken not fresh, very hard to chew and it doesnt taste good
Food was good but very Poor customer service, in fact quite discriminatory and unprofessional!
1. I didnt like the way the Turkish manager is treating the waitresses that work in the restaurant. 2. The food is good, Food
A good family restaurant but which has lost a lot in terms of quality and service.
I am Turkish (uyghur) and I like it. Fresh salad with homemade sauce (more than 8 ingredients easily just in the salad) The rice is of premium quality in my opinion :) well cooked. With lots of taste (Im a fan of glued rice (Haitian) and its glue at the same level ;) Crispy fries :) I had chicken the meat was good :) I paid $20 for a dish and I got my moneys worth in spades . Now at $20 you have a mcpoulet trio and 1 junior lol. THANKS. Customer for 6 years
Good food, poor service. We put in your order everything you dont want to have. The employees speak badly on the phone and dont understand anything we ask!!!!
Excellent service...
The doner sandwich is delicious, but the prices are too high, and the place is quite noisy.
Sanitization.
Super
The two men who are going to grill the meats are not nice, they spoke about us in Turkish and they looked at us with evil eyes subhanallah. I dont recommend it, however you have to go to the other Istanbul house located at Langelier. Bad service
Very poor service. A hellish experience. More than 2 hours of waiting because the kitchen and waitress team were busy with deliveries and with the people present on site. I 1000% advise against it. Zero service, zero cuisine. Zero atmosphere.
No taste, meat dried out, fries frozen, stirofoam packaging. Luckily I had ketchup in the fridge
Despite the increase in prices, the service remains to be seen, if it is not the errors on the orders that have taken away then it is the quantity served, see the attached photo. One less customer.
The dishes are more expensive than before and the quality/quantity mediocre service to be desired atmosphere
Messy restaurant, and terrible service The food is served on metal plates. No, I wont set foot in this restaurant again. Parking: Ok for parking
staff very poorly organized and very rude! we waited for an hour in line even though there were free places without anyone there to seat us, and when we asked, the person who supposedly takes care of that told us with an air aggressive: have you booked?! then she left without saying anything! then we are finally seated, we wait 15 minutes then we ask for the menu and then we are told that we have to wait an hour to be served!! lol joke of the evening! we then left, no one came of course to explain this charade to us there were a lot of people dissatisfied with the service, we are disappointed
SATURDAY APRIL 22, 2023. I had the bad idea of ordering takeaway from this restaurant despite the unfavorable reviews on Google. The minced meat (kofta) had a weird taste, I told myself that Istanbul cuisine is like that. In the middle of the night vomiting stomach pain plus diarrhea basically a nice poisoning for my wife and I luckily my children didnt like the taste otherwise the poor people would suffer too. A PLACE TO AVOID.
I had acute gastro at the end of my pregnancy because of their pizza, I dont recommend this restaurant!
Very good despite a long wait for deliveries.
This restaurant should be closed after health and safety inspection. The meat smells bad and hurt my stomach for two days with other 2 family member . Very bad i do not know how this still operating
Absolutely unprofessional service
Super good good portion
Previously it was great the cashiers were very nice and knew their job well but now unfortunately that has changed we ordered takeaway twice and both times there were not even tissues or sauces whereas before yes
The dishes are quite consistent, but the place and the decoration are very basic!
I had heard the rumors but I didnt believe it was as intense as that. The service in this restaurant gives you the impression that they are paying you to come and eat at their place. The cashier/waitress is only there to press buttons at the checkout in addition to being frustrated and pressed. We ate there, everything we asked for was completely ignored and even when the food arrived (after more than 40 minutes of waiting), we mentioned to him that certain items were missing or substitutes. She simply acquiesced and never came back with the missing items. She also served us a harissa which had gone bad without changing it (even after mentioning it to her) The restaurant was not crowded or very busy. It was just incompetence and nonchalance. If at least the food we were served was good. the beef tasted nothing. But really nothing. Neither did the rice and the bread was cold and very small. The fries are Costco fries and they were cold since we saw our plates left on the counter for 5-7 minutes before being brought back to our tables. To quote the price is to understand nothing. A beef plate is $18.99 But a mixed plate (beef and chicken) is $26.99 (all without drinks) I understand that there is inflation but the price is ridiculous. Finally, its a shame that this restaurant has fallen like this. Previously it was a very good family restaurant where I would bring friends and family. Today it has become a restaurant that does not respect its customers and where we feel oppressed by the waitresses who only want one thing; that you eat as quickly as possible and leave. It was the last time for me and my family in this restaurant. Ps: this experience is not an isolated experience, it was similar the last 3 times before this time.
Bad service well for a very long time all the waitress looks the same no smile I notice the owner only makes young girls work Are not made to work In public
Ive never been there, but Ive ordered several times and Im surprised at the overall rating. The service seems lacking for most reviews, but on delivery the food is perfect. I have nothing negative to say 9/10.
After having made the one hour journey, arriving there at 9 p.m. they told us that it was closed even though on maps and on the restaurant door it was written that they closed at 10 p.m.
Bad service usually I take salad the box is full now they gave me a little salad its like this I didnt pay for it they gave me free the other time I found it in the sandwix plastic unfortunately this restaurant I do not recommend it
Combo
The food was fine but very oily.
Great place with a very nice staff, and amazing food!! Portion are huge a food is tasty and fresh. Seasonning if spot on. The lost star is for the service, that could be a little bit faster (usually 15-20 min for a dish). Other than this, all the rest if great. Very nice space for family dinner night.
A great restaurant, for couples and families. Friendly and accommodating staff. Beautiful facilities. And the food was superb, outstanding.
Wonderful experience, excellent service and very special taste. I highly recommend. Clean and air-conditioned restaurant. With family or alone you will love it Kid-friendliness: Childrens menu available
Very good restaurant to recommend!
Delicious food, smiling waitresses despite the rush, super fair prices.
Delicious, Ill be back again
So nice and tasty it s not good for veggie and vegetarian people and they have sweet too
I can truely admit I wasnt expecting this much delicious Iskandar Kebab experience. Very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere
I have ordered several times over the past 2 years. The price has increased but lately the quantity-quality has decreased. I just ordered, no sauce in the salad, very few fries not even a small pot of mayonnaise. This will be my last order.
Second time I go to this restaurant, first time we are told that there is no döner in a döner. Second time no hello at reception, no thank you. His colleague who serves us sneezes into his hands does not wash his hands and serves us the dishes. At the exit we stay in the car for 5 minutes to smoke a cigarette and people stare at us as if we were criminals. To avoid.
Generous portions, even the salad was
Good food Good service Food
Very good service, very good food
Amazing experience, the foods delicious
Since when have cockroaches been found in a restaurant? When this becomes normal, I hope the audit to check hygiene will be favorable.
Dry and inedible chicken
I specifically asked for hot fries and gave the lady a tip but they went ahead and gave me the fries that were sitting in the pan . I asked the lady twice to check not sure what she thinks is hot .not the first time this happened but definitely my last time!!!! Look after your customers properly or you ll be out of business!
I ordered three sandwiches two were good but the third was nothing I ordered plus they took over 15 minutes.
I dont recommend that restaurant, bad food it is not tasty, and the service is not good. Bathroom very dirty, imagine how will be the kitchen!!!! I will never come back there
Pizza too wet, uncooked chicken wings, very hot water to drink plus bad service. I do not recommend this restaurant
Service improved from last time
I especially like the quantity, and the fast delivery, plus its fresh and clean.
I like the flavors, the chefs special pizza is good as well as the chicken doner dishes.
Good food, but they reduced their portion and they increased their price.
Very delicious
The worst experience i ve ever had, no comes to serve you, once your plate is ready no one bring it to you hot, they wait till it becomes cold, moreover, if you complain about it, they insulted you.you pay an expensive amount for their food, to insult you and give you the worst service
Detailed review coming soon
Pleasantly surprised, clean, really very good, (despite the fact that the meat is very fatty). The tastes are there, the service is OK in terms of time but the restaurant was empty, so lets see if there is a rush. Im nitpicking a little, but the team lacks a little professionalism, -come out of the kitchens and start laughing with your colleagues in a rather exuberant way, -or let your hair go in and massage the scalp, (speaking of hair it was obvious) while the clients are likely to see the scene - or a member of the team (perhaps a boss) standing in front of the salads staring at the customers without helping his team, -or an improvised French lesson in the dining room, -or even one of the Waitresses who had difficulty smiling. I find this lack of professional rigor a shame, because the food was good and its rare that I find restaurants this good, we can perhaps be a family and familiar restaurant while still being professional, good luck to you, I will come back without it least doubt Parking: Non-paying Kid-friendliness: Child seat provided, menu including meals that children can eat
Very good Turkish specialty with generous quantities and affordable prices
Good food
Good food, plentiful meals, excellent staff
Vegetarian options: Ni viande ni poulet
Vegetarian options: Salata çe itleri

Good service, not crowded, the food is delicious we loved skander kabab it s the best Thanks
To fill the belly!!
I dont suggest it.
They make DISGUSTING sandwiches
Good beef but the owners keep increasing prices and reducing portions
Good restaurant
Great place! So good ! I recommend !
Unsanitary handling of food , dirty lazy personnel !!! Horrible ambiance. Poor quality and a deplorable service. This place either needs to improve or should be shut down by the health department. Even the workers were talking about how they wouldn t even eat here. The man handling my food touched his nose , his hair and the hand of someone coming straight out of the toilet in one shot right before handling my food. Think about it. The bathroom is next to the kitchen.
Normally we really liked the pitas and doner kebab, but the last time we went we were truly disappointed. Even though the kebab kebab was made by the fire, what we received was ice cold and it was brought completely wrapped in aluminum foil, as if it had been prepared for take-out. We felt as if it was prepared for someone else and then brought it to us when it was cancelled.
very poor restaurant for food. Sanitation is lacking a lot and more particularly in the toilets which are very dirty and so on...
Generous portion, very delicious (adana plate)
Quality of the meat is below the threshold and yet it was the most favorite place for me.. I dont understand why the quality has deteriorated.. the ground meat and the meat on skewers tasted like fat quite strong it looks like it comes from overly old cattle with a lot of fat...the lentil soup tasted like everything except the lentils...in short, not recommended.
I am really disappointed with the service today. Today I bought 1 chicken giver plate and trio give chicken giver. The gentleman cut the fresh chicken then when I was busy looking at my cell, he tried to serve me with the chicken put on a plate next to it when I saw him I asked him to change the chicken and Serve me with the fresh chicken, then when he put the fries in he touched the fries with his hand. Lack of hygiene. The toilet smells all the way up despite the toilet being in the basement. I dont advise you
It used to be my favorite turkish restaurant but the quality now has degraded too much and the amount of food decreases so much so that I can t recommend to anyone anymore The food is mushy and the chef only gave me few dried chicken batons and wet slushy salad! I work in restaurant service so I know the food they gave me is leftover . It s really insulting Back then the food used to come in large quantity and very fresh. Now the price increased so much I get it because of inflation they have to change price.but why the quality deteriorated so much ? I don t know what happened to their management now but apparently I won t come back anymore until things improve. By the way I saw the chef touch the food without glove that s pretty unhygienic. The only thing good is the cashier is nice.
Usually, I have nothing to complain about, on the contrary. Yesterday, I had it delivered, but I was surprised by the lower quality of the meat. This taste was peculiar and not pleasant. A tiny hot pepper in my dish. I dont know if the price of peppers has also gone up... Ok, no salad, I understand that given the current context. The positive point is the great kindness of Reda the delivery man. Always true to himself with his politeness and his smile. That makes the negative point clear... Seriously, the customer knows it when the cook is doing his job well and he knows it when the cook is exhausted... The plate speaks a lot.
Alright
I like this restaurant, except that last time I noticed an exaggerated price increase, so I dont think Ill come back with those prices.
I bought a sandwich it was catastrophic without sauce without onion without anything I cant eat service 000
I asked for a poutine after a long wait, the cashier came to tell me that it was going to take some more time. I canceled the first order and I asked again for a doner meat sandwich with extra sauce, out of confidence I didnt check this. that they put inside when I got home I found salad and unbearable meat, very hard, no taste of sauce inside, I called it by phone and they tell me were sorry and she finished the discussion, no other option offered.
Bad customer experience, rude staff and texting on the phone for 5 minutes instead of preparing orders.
I got to try them one day
Null !
La place nest pas wow et etait froid a chaque fois que quelquun ouvrait la porte on gelait on netiat pas confortable on avait froid la place nest pas chaleureux avec les serveusses qui font juste un défilé de mode au lieu de faire leur travail la nouriture nest pas wow non plus ... perte dargent on voulait juste finirr car on avait froid
Wednesday around (1:15 p.m.) the waitress at the cash register serves those she knows first even if they have just arrived I was the first to place the order, I waited 40 minutes for 2 sandwiches then there were 2 guys who just arrived, they ordered the same things as me and they had their sandwich in 10 minutes when I spoke with her, she just said sorry, I wasnt paying attention so she knew well what she did. the sandwiches werent really great (quantity and taste) for a price of $29
I ordered a beef shawarma dish, they gave me a chicken shawarma dish. Besides, the borgul was very sour and salty and the chicken was not good plus the price is expensive.
Very very bad service I placed an order I was told 40 minutes I called back 1h40 after my first call he explained to me that the delivery man refused to deliver and the most serious thing they told me in contacting you we didnt I cant reach you even though I have been contacted twice before. In short, you should close and change jobs because, more seriously, you die, not recommended forever. Dietary restrictions: Its serious
Good dish, pleasant service, wishing good luck for a change of scenery, but the food is good
